A new item color.

Greetings,

I have seen alot of threats about people saying that gear isn't as proudly anymore as in back in the days, because everyone can obtain them now.
This is true that everyone is able to obtain a full epic set in like less then a week time, this doesn't make epics feel 'epic'.

But what about if blizzard came up with a new kind of color?

Let's say you got normal raiding, these items rewards you the standard Epics items.
But let's now make it that Heroic raiding would give you 'Yellow' named items. (Or what color could fit it best)

With other colors maybe people will like gear more again? like old days?

And they can do this with more things.

Like special PvP gear where u need to have the best of the best ranks to obtain them.

What do you guys think how this will work out, or is this something that is just rubbish and shouldn't ever be added ingame?

No because we already have Legendaries (Orange) just not enough of them, they should make more Legendary items but indeed make them very hard (not impossible) to obtain.

I don't understand the "epics need to mean something" arguement.
I know when I started playing back in Vanilla, I didn't care that the armor's name was purple, I cared that it was high level and from raid dungeons with neat bosses, and that it looked cool and was something I could try getting eventually.

That feeling hasn't left from wow, I don't pvp much and so when I see people on the Glad cloud serpent, I still think "Man that looks awesome, I wish I had the commitment to go after pvp mounts and titles". The same is true when I see meta-raid mounts.And in a similar fashion, when I run through low level areas, I don't get whispers saying "whoa where'd you get that x colored gear" I get questions asking cool looking weapons, or things like the golden lotus crane mounts.

Eventually you're going to loose some of that noobish awe. Raid gear isn't impressive to me anymore, not because raids and gearing are easy, but because I know where it comes from now, I've raided before, I've been at that level.

Having a swimming pool in your backyard seems lavish if you've never had one, but once you have one for a couple years it isn't such a big deal.

Well the color "Red" is already available in guy for use on items, but most refer to these as Artifacts as they haven't been used yet. That's a possibility. Though the color argument is just something people use to try and when their argument when they know the thing they are arguing is pointless and doesn't make a difference at all.

I'm curious as to why Red isn't actually used.

Uses the same signature for over a year, just randomly gets infracted for it recently.
Placeholder signature is placeholder and will hopefully make me finish my shit.
Oh yeah, I'm a Druid and stuff.

Fuscia :: The new LFR drop, cuz you are not 1337 enough to get real purples, YOU CASUAL PIECE OF SHIT!

Burnt Sienna :: The new thunderforged drop. It's basically a euphemism for poop brown, specifically to remind you that you are now licensed to talk shit to LFR scrubs and less fortunate normal mode raiders, but also what you deserve to hear from everyone else for being so conceited.

But what I really think should happen, is that all gear should have the same font color. Because are DPS meter posts in a public channel not the best way to whip out your uncircumcised, blue veined E-peen to show the world?
